Hi All
Our current boiler is dying slowly. BG Homecare have already made the trotters broom type joke. It is getting more and more unreliable. It is a 14 year old Baxi 100HE, condensing boiler.
The house is a 2004 built detached, with 5 beds, and 3 floors. 20 rads in total.
The Baxi is configured with a pump on top, to get the water around the system. It is a pressurised system with a cylinder upstairs in a cupboard, and the boiler is in the garage - so space is not a problem.
My trusted heating engineer has recommended a WB 30Ri, as he says that he wants to use an external pump, like I have at the moment, and the other WB boilers have a built in pump ?
The boiler does an okay job, but not great in terms of getting all the rads hot. So my thinking was a more powerful boiler and pump would help this ? I have had it flushed/balanced etc etc
What would the boiler guru's on the forum recommend ? The chap is happy to fit WB or Vailant. The other choice is a 40 CDI, or a vailant model of some sort.
Money is not my prime concern, but reliability is, and I need it powerful enough to get all the rads hot.
Any ideas gratefully appreciated .
